Allistar Cookie: Pip, pip, and good evening. Allistar Cookie here. Me delighted to welcome you to Monsterpiece Theater. Tonight, me present classic counting film "16 Candles".
(the scene fades to a darkened room where The Count observes a candleobra)
The Count: Greetings! I am The Count, and today, I will count these candles. My there sure are a lot. Let's begin. One, one candle. Two, two candles. Three, three candles. Four, four candles. Five, five candles. Six, six candles. Seven, seven candles. Eight, eight candles. Oh, I wonder how many there are. Nine, nine candles. Ten, ten candles. Eleven, eleven candles. Twelve, twelve candles! Oh, I wonder if candleobras normally have this many candles. Aw, but I don't care! Thirteen, thirteen candles! Fourteen, fourteen candles! Is fourteen the number of the day? Fifteen, fifteen candles! Sixteen, sixteen wonderful candles! Ah-ah-ah! (thunder and lightning strikes) Oh, yes, I think I'll count all sixteen candles again....
(fade back to the Monsterpiece Theater set)
Allistar Cookie: And so ends Sixteen Candles. This is Allistar Cookie saying so long. (the ending music starts playing) Hey, Jeeves! Get over here!
(Jeeves, a thin lavendar man with grey hair, grey eyebrows, no eyes, and a round red nose, shows up with a box of candles)
Allistar Cookie: Thank you! (Allistar Cookie starts taking candles out of the box and eating them)

(the scene then cuts to Oscar and Telly watching the show at a movie theater)
Telly: Well, I give this five wow's.
Oscar: And I give it five phooey's.
Telly: Oh, come on, Oscar! Can't you at least give this one a nice review?
Oscar: Of course not! The ending was predictible. We knew how many candles were going to be counted.

Nice... Obviously inspired by the various counting film parodies like One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and Twelve Angry Men.
And to throw in a Sneak Peak ending was a very clever twist.

This was very good. I thought Oscar's line at the end was hilarious.
